In any event, tweaking the mechanisms of evolution does not refute it, it confirms it.

The Return of Hopeful Monsters

In any event, tweaking the mechanisms of evolution does not refute it, it confirms it.

Gould is clearly Darwinian, but he does see a difference between microevolution and macroevolution which very few people at FR do. He still clearly believes macroevolution has happened and transitional fossils exist, but he definitely is more troubled by macroevolution than your average FR evo poster and thinks the mechanism may be in the genes that control embryonic growth.
